Chapter 258 King Wei goes south to Puyang
Chapter 257: King Wei goes south to Chenliu
After Zhao Xin defeated Epping, the army continued to advance, and broke through Linyi, completely opening up the road from Jibei to Dongjun. Attack fiercely in order to hold back Pang Kuo's main force, and the Zhao army on the front line of the plain, except for some left behind at Ferry and Jibei, were all transferred to Eping. Xin Zhao wanted Wei first and Qi later.

"Damn! Waste! They are all waste!" In the main camp of the Wei army in Puyang, Dongjun, Pang Kuo learned that the Zhao army had broken through the Yellow River defense line where the Qi army was stationed, and that Zhao's army on the eastern front had crossed the Yellow River and entered the Central Plains. Yes, just a few days ago, Zhao Xin personally led an army to raid Eping City. The Wei army suffered heavy losses. The [-] army, only the general Feng Kui fled back with a few thousand people. Facing the incompetence of Han Qing and the Qi army, Pang Kuo is Cursed.

Pang Kuo can still accept the loss of troops, but now Zhao Jun has torn a hole from the Yellow River defense line, and a large number of Zhao troops have entered the Central Plains from the north bank continuously. This made Pang Kuo suddenly at a loss as to what to do.

Pang Kuo found that he was held back by Han Qing and the Qi army. For the first time, Pang Kuo led the army to contain Zhao Jun's offensive in Yangping with great difficulty. It was Han Qing who was forced to retreat south to the south bank of the Yellow River due to lack of troops. In order not to be besieged by the Zhao army, Kuo had no choice but to retreat southward with Han Qing. This time, because the Qi army's Gaotang City was forced to destroy the Yellow River defense line, the Wei army also lost in a daze. How can Pang Kuo not be angry? It is obviously not his own problem, but now he suffers along with him. For the first time, Pang Kuo began to doubt whether it was a mistake to cooperate with the Qi army.

A group of generals of the Wei army are trembling below. Today's Pang Kuo is terrifying. In the past, Pang Kuo was able to make Mount Tai collapse in front of him without changing his face. Even the Changsha fiasco did not make such a big deal Huo, it seems that Qi Jun's incompetence has really reached the extreme.

The military adviser Chu Fei said to Pang Kuo: "Da Sima, the situation is critical now. Xin Zhao has gathered more than 20 troops on the front lines of Eping and Linyi. He may move westward at any time. It is difficult to defend Dong'e. In the process of marching westward, Xin Zhao will continue to tear down our army's strongholds on the shore, and hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops will go straight to Puyang, which will be very unfavorable to our army."

Puyang City is the capital of the Wei State, standing on the south bank of the Yellow River. Now the capital of the country has become a front-line position. This has made the Wei people very uncomfortable. Now that Zhao Jun has crossed the Yellow River, he may go straight to Puyang at any time. Once Puyang is lost, Wei Guo is also about to cool off.

This is where Pang Kuo was troubled. He wanted to divide his troops to resist Zhao Xin's army, but Li Rubing on the north bank kept attacking the Yellow River defense line like crazy, without paying any attention to casualties, and Pang Kuo couldn't move.

Pang Kuo thought for a while, and said: "Now that Li Rubing is attacking fiercely, our army can't spare any troops to support the eastern front. If we do, Li Rubing will probably take the opportunity to cross the river. In this way, we will face at least 40 troops. Zhao Jun, this situation is even more unfavorable, the only way out now is to ask the king and all the clan courtiers to leave Puyang first."

"What!" The generals were very surprised. Has everything come to this point?But Chu Fei was not surprised at all. After all, Pang Kuo's idea coincided with him. Now Puyang is already very dangerous. Send out an army to protect King Wei's safety. In this way, how can the Wei army have extra troops to defend against the Zhao army? After thinking about it, it is the best policy for King Wei to leave Puyang.

Chu Fei nodded, and said: "That's very good, Da Sima, you stay in the camp to set up defenses, and the subordinate Da Sima will go to meet the king in person, and Chen will use the advantages and disadvantages to persuade the king to evacuate Puyang temporarily."

"Then I'll have to serve as a military adviser." Pang Kuo didn't object, one was that he couldn't get away, and the other was that Chu Fei was a literati, so it was much easier to convince the king of Wei than he was eloquent.

In Puyang City, in the Palace of King Wei, the King of Wei already knew the news of Zhao Jun’s westward march. Although he acted calmly, his heart was in a mess. He really wanted to send someone to inquire about Pang Kuo, but he was afraid of interfering with Pang Kuo Moreover, he knew that under the current situation, Pang Kuo would soon enter the palace to see him, so he simply stayed in the palace and waited.

However, King Wei did not wait for Pang Kuo, but instead waited for Chu Fei. As soon as Chu Fei entered the imperial study room, he saluted and said, "Your servant, Chu Fei, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

King Wei was very puzzled when he saw that it was Chu Fei who came. Logically speaking, shouldn't it be Pang Kuo who came to see him in person?Why is Chu Fei here? Could it be that Pang Kuo really didn't even have the time to see himself?Thinking of this, King Wei was very unhappy, and said to Chu Fei, "Chu Cancheng, why is it you? Where is Da Sima?"

Chu Fei replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the battle at the front line is tight, and Da Sima can't get away, so he can only send ministers to report to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to forgive him."

"Forget it, since Da Sima has military affairs, I don't want to force you. I don't know why Da Sima sent you here? Now that the Zhao army has marched westward, what will Da Sima do?" Now the entire Wei Kingdom depends on Pang Kuo Holding on, King Wei could only let go of the displeasure in his heart.

Chu Fei clearly saw the displeasure of King Wei, and was a little hesitant to say it, but he thought that the situation was critical now, and if he didn't say it, there might be big problems, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Back to the king, the Yellow River is now The line of defense has been lost, the Zhao army is approaching menacingly, and Puyang City is located in the front line of the two armies, which is very unsafe. For the safety of the king, Da Sima discussed with his ministers, hoping that the king can leave Puyang city temporarily."

"What! You want me to run away?" King Wei was furious. Damn it, after a long time of trouble, you actually want me to run away. Suppressing his anger, he shook his head and said: "No, Puyang City is the capital of our Great Wei Dynasty. There is no king who abandons his capital and flees. There is no need to talk about it."

Chu Fei also knew that this matter was not that simple. Leaving Puyang would be a great shame and humiliation for King Wei, but in terms of the current situation, King Wei's departure is the greatest support for Wei Jun, so he said: "Your Majesty! , This is the best way that Da Sima and his ministers have considered after many times. Once Zhao Jun kills Puyang and the king is still in Puyang, Da Sima will have to send out a part of soldiers to protect the king. We are already at a disadvantage, if we divide our forces because we want to protect the king, it will be very detrimental to defending against the Zhao army, I hope the king will think twice."

"What's the matter? The city is as stable as Mount Tai. You don't have to send people to protect you. There are still [-] elites in Puyang City who can protect you." King Wei still didn't let go. Sorry.

Seeing that the King of Wei had vowed not to compromise, Chu Fei became anxious and said, "Your Majesty is the leader of the Great Wei. If the King loses something, it will be the end of the Great Wei. I also hope that the King will think about the Great Wei and leave Puyang for now, and wait to fight back in the future." Zhao Jun, ministers and Da Sima should personally welcome the king back."

King Wei was struggling a bit. He didn't want to leave, but if he didn't leave, he would be in danger, and Chu Fei was right, what would Wei Guo do if he died or was captured by Zhao Jun, so he thought about it, or He let go, and said: "Forget it, it's for the sake of the great Wei Jiangshan. I just hope that the ancestors and ancestors will not blame the widow in the future. Chu Cancheng, where do you think the widow should retreat?"

Chu Fei said: "Back to your Majesty, Da Sima and your ministers have considered it. It is safest for your Majesty to visit Chenliu in the south. Chenliu is located in the south of Puyang. As long as Da Sima is still in Puyang, the Zhao army will never dare to go south to pursue your majesty. "

King Wei sat on his seat, closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "Chen Liu, okay, when are you leaving?"

Chu Fei thought for a while, and said: "Now Zhao Jun may break through Dong'e at any time, naturally the sooner the better."

"Well, go back and tell Da Sima that the widow will take the clan courtiers and leave Puyang in three days and go south to Chenliu."

"Here!" Chu Fei finally felt relieved.

On the first day of April in the 18th year of Qianyuan, the king of Wei led the courtiers of the clan and went south to Chenliu under the escort of [-] elite Wei troops. At the same time, the Zhao army had already broken through Dong'e. In front of the powerful offensive, it was as if it was made of paper, vulnerable to a single blow, and completely lacked the domineering air it used to be.
